Produktbeschreibung
The book excavates the critical concepts and interpretative procedures of qiné hermeneutics with a view to enucleate an Ethiopian critical tradition that could meet the intellectual, social, and political challenges of the modern world. It conducts a critical internal journey into Ethiopia's intellectual traditions and elucidates the emancipatory ideas that gestate in them. It uses these as a guide to conduct a critical external journey into the borrowed Western social sciences that are dominant in Ethiopian studies. The text critiques, deflects and reworks this borrowed knowledge from the perspective of the emancipatory aspirations and ideas that the critical internal journey discloses. The book argues for an approach-Ethioperspectivism-that ensures the epistemic autonomy of Ethiopian studies. Ethioperspectivism symphonizes the outcomes of the internal and external journeys to produce knowledge on Ethiopia that is rooted in Ethiopian history and intellectual traditions and is committed to the emancipatory interests of Ethiopians.
